My favorite spring bars are Rolex, they make a sturdy spring bar. For most watches I use stainless bars from Jules Borel, they seem to be fine quality. My only complaint is that even though they advertise them as metric they are really based on English measurements, their 12mm is really 12.5mm! I have a set of AF stainless steel swiss made spring bars. They are nice too, but the cost is really prohibitive, maybe like 50 cents each.
